Starting with the Hudson River's Ice Age birth, moving through its significance in American history and art, and ending with its recent comeback from pollution, Talbott takes readers on an engrossing journey. Large, lush paintings fill some spreads; others feature smaller portraits, landscapes, and maps. After reading straight through, children will want to reexamine pages of particular interest. Reading list, websites.
